In this episode, we cover:
- Focusing on fairness can sabotage the negotiation
 - Sometimes the best move is to just settle and spend your energy elsewhere
 - Your job offer isn’t something you’re lucky to receive; it’s a mutual value exchange
 - Do what’s best for you, not just what benefits the company
 - Don’t take what an employer says at face value
 - Negotiation is a game, and you’re allowed to play it
 
We also share:
- Gerta’s Sandbox retreat in rural Spain: tribal percussion, spider-ridden tent nights, and lakeside sunrise raves
 - Alex’s solo week of running the business leading to an unexpected motivation boost
 - A quick Milan detour for Dua Lipa with Albanian friends, then family time (and jet-lag battles) in Albania
 
Join us to learn how the right negotiation mindset, equal parts gratitude and game theory, can help turn any scenario into a better deal.
